European Council President Donald Tusk met with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Brussels on Wednesday. Following the meeting he released a statement that said:

I was pleased to welcome Greece’s new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Brussels today. Our talks were open and frank on a number of issues of common concern.

As regards European financial assistance to Greece, I stressed the need to find a solution acceptable to all Member States involved in the negotiations. Those negotiations will take place in the eurogroup. They will be difficult, will require cooperation and dialogue as well as determined efforts by Greece.

We agreed on the importance of unity within the European Union with regard to other key challenges facing Europe.
